When are they expecting
you in Brazil?
I told them a couple
of weeks after
the ceremony.
We've got all
the receptions,
and then I'll need
at least a week
to clear out
the linguistic
database.
After ten years on this ship,
I'll bet it'll take a while
getting used to
the humidity again.
And the bugs.
Does the Captain
have to give a speech?
He's working on it now.
He hates giving speeches.
And he'll undoubtedly make every
effort to take no credit.
Undoubtedly.
That'd be like
Zefram Cochrane
not taking credit
for warp drive.
How do you
pronounce the name
of the second Tellarite
Liberator... "Challash"?
Shallash.
"Shallash." Thanks.
How's it going, sir?
Whatever I write,
it sounds like
I'm trying to take credit
for this.
T' POL:
Captain,
Admiral Douglas
is asking you to approve
the decommission protocols.
One thing at a time.
After the charter's signed,
I'll give him
whatever he needs to put
Enterprise in mothballs.
N.D. ( over com ):
All senior staff,
please report to the Bridge.

RIKER:
First Officer's Personal Log,
Stardate 47457.1.
With the unexpected arrival of
Admiral Pressman, my old C.O.,
I find myself
in an awkward position.
Counselor Troi has suggested
I might get a few insights
by calling up an historic
holo-program.
You're sure you don't
want to talk about
what happened?
I've told you
everything I can.
If it's a question
of breaking a promise...
Not a promise...
an order.
Have you learned anything
on the Holodeck
about breaking orders?
Not yet.
I've gone back a couple of days
earlier, to get a perspective.
But I really don't see
how this is going to help.
That's why you run a starship
and I'm a counselor.
Reed's shorter than
I thought he'd be.
Maybe the program's off.
No, I'm sure it's fine.
It's just you expect
larger-than-life people
to be larger than life.
Has the Andorian
hailed them?
Not yet.
You might want to leap ahead
to that point.
It's where things
start really happening.
And you should consider
taking over the galley.
Why?
Well, Starfleet ships didn't
have counselors in those days,
but the chef on the first
Enterprise came pretty close.
I read almost everybody
confided in him.
I'll keep that in mind.
Supper?
You bet.
I'll give you
an update.
Okay.
That's impossible.
Shran's been dead
for what, three years?
This is quite a surprise.
I'm sorry, pinkskin,
but it was essential
certain people believed
I had met my demise.
Including me?
I know it's been a while,
but as I recall,
you still owe me a favor.
I remember.
But this isn't a good time,
Shran.
I assume you know
where we're heading.
I may no longer be a member
of the Imperial Guard,
but I'm aware
of the proposed coalition.
It's more than a proposal.
We're on our way to Earth
to sign the charter.
The ceremony isn't
for three days.
If my plan works, you'll be home
in plenty of time.
( scoffs )
I'm afraid a detour is out
of the question right now.
My child's been abducted...
kidnapped.
You owe me.
You never told me
you had a child.
Jhamel gave birth
five years ago...
a daughter.
They've taken her.
Who?
Former associates.
It's a long story.
You need to let
me come aboard.
Set a rendezvous course.
Computer, freeze program.
Advance ahead one hour.
Switch to objective mode.
SHRAN:
Who would've thought
civilian life
would be more dangerous
than commanding a ship
for the Imperial Guard?
I still don't understand
why you left.
You were a hero.
A hero with a family.
I always believed
that change was a good thing.
I was a fool.
Why would you fake
your own death?
I made some poor choices...
picked the wrong friends...
people involved
in questionable
business ventures.
They think I took something
that belonged to them.
With the help of some old
colleagues from the Guard,
I managed to make myself
disappear.
And it worked...
for nearly three years.
Your "friends" found you?
Six months ago.
I've been on the move
ever since.
They took her
in the middle of the night.
I was in the next room...
asleep...
Useless!
It's been a week.
They say if I don't return
what's theirs,
they'll kill her.
Then give them what they want.
I don't have it!
I never did.
But you have a plan.
It cost me
everything I had,
but I managed to find out
where they've taken her.
They're on a trading
outpost-- Rigel Ten.
I'm familiar with it.
I know these men
quite well, Captain.
I can outwit them;
I've done it before.
But I'll need at
least seven men.
You have to help me.
It's my little girl.
He's an admitted criminal.
You said so yourself.
He said he fell in with
some disreputable people.
That doesn't make him
a criminal.
If we're late for the ceremony,
it will have
far-reaching
consequences.
If Shran hadn't helped us,
I never would've gotten aboard
the Xindi weapon.
Have you forgotten that?
This alliance is based on
friendship and loyalty--
exactly what Shran is
looking for right now.
I don't trust him.
You don't trust Andorians.
You never have.
Thank God the Vulcan Council
If they're willing to
forge an alliance
with Andoria,
the least you can do
is give Shran the benefit
of the doubt.
When we met ten years ago,
I didn't trust you.
For that matter,
I didn't trust any Vulcans.
You helped me
get past that, remember?
I listened to you,
now it's your turn
to listen to me.
I can't turn my back
on him, T'Pol.
Try to understand.
I'll try.
By the way...
drop by the galley
when you get a moment.
Chef's trying to come up
with a menu
for our last
dinner together.
He wants to know everybody's
favorite dish.
There are 83
crewmembers
aboard.
Just go see him, all right?
Don't worry.
( Porthos whimpers )
Chef's promised at least
six kinds of cheese. Yeah.
T'POL:
I appreciate the gesture,
but it's not necessary to
prepare a special dish for me.
Come on.
I've already started to
reduce the plomeek broth.
All I need to know is
which roots you prefer.
In that case,
I prefer to be surprised.
Pull up a chair.
I could use the company.
I heard a rumor I may
be whipping up
some Andorian cabbage
soup tonight.
We have already lost
five hours
picking up Shran's shuttle.
Now we're going to lose
at least another day
diverting our course to Rigel.
His child's in danger.
Is there anything aboard
this ship you don't know?
Jonathan is a
compassionate man.
You should know
that by now.
His compassion has gotten us
into trouble on many occasions.
We could miss
this ceremony.
Don't worry. I've got a hunch
you're going to make it.
Tea?
Thank you.
Phlox is giving me
his largest Edosian suckerfish.
Excuse me?
It looks like a catfish.
I'm hoping it tastes like one.
( knocking contertop )
Commander Tucker's
crazy for catfish.
You ever miss him?
I spent the morning with him
recalibrating the plasma array.
That's not what I mean.
our intimate relationship,
that's been over for six years.
The question remains:
Do you miss him?
I'm Vulcan.
I don't "miss" people.
Oh, sorry. I forgot.
Is he as concerned as you are
about making this ceremony?
Trip rarely questions
the Captain's decisions.
He doesn't strike me as someone
who follows orders blindly.
He's not.
He simply tends to agree with
the Captain most of the time.
He trusts him.
Would you peel these for me?
Before I joined this crew,
I never could've imagined
anything more important
than following orders.
And now?
Humans believe that sometimes
you have to follow
your instincts.
A very illogical approach,
but one I've
come to embrace.
Computer, freeze program.
Thanks.
There you are.
Someone you know?
Someone I knew.
Pegasus?
Phil Wallace.
Hell of a handball player.
Pressman was getting ready
to promote him.
How many died?
71.
All but nine of us.
How do you feel about learning
the ship wasn't destroyed?
What difference does it make?
71 people died.
You're feeling guilty.
You think in some way
you were responsible?
You're the empath;
why don't you tell me?
I think it's something else,
something about
seeing that ship again.
Why don't we change
the subject, okay?
Okay.
How did things go
on the holodeck?
They picked up
the Andorian,
they're on their way
to Rigel Ten.
I was referring to any insight
you may have gained.
I took your advice
about the Chef.
You were right.
T'Pol opened up to me.
Have you met with
Commander Tucker?
No, I haven't made it
to Engineering yet.
Have you spent any time
on the NX-01?
I've never run the program.
What about the ship
itself?
I think I went when
I was a little girl,
but I get all those
museum ships mixed up.
Now's your chance.
Come on down with me.
I have an appointment
in an hour.
I'll get you back
in plenty of time.
Come on.
( sighs )
Our brig is bigger than this.
A lot of things change
in 200 years.
Watch yourself.
No fish tank.
How could Archer survive
without a fish tank?
Allow me.
He does have
a dog, though.
Right, I remember.
One of the Musketeers.
Porthos.
Ooh, comfy.
No seat for the First Officer?
Perhaps Archer wasn't as
fussy as Captain Picard
when it came to people
sitting in his chair.
I remember seeing one of these
in a photograph.
Kirk's ship had them, I think.
RIKER:
Engineering's down this way.
There's something
lonely about a ship
without its crew.
Computer, add
an appropriate
crew complement--
objective mode.
That's better.
If you recall,
Rigel Ten is filled with
a very unsavory element.
And I rather doubt
Shran's scheme will be
quite as simple
as he claims.
Well, I can't imagine the
Captain would put us in jeopardy
this close to signing
the charter.
I don't like it.
What exactly
are you doing?
These injectors need to be
purged every six months.
Are the deuterium
filters clear?
We've done all but three.
All right.
Make it quick.
Aye, sir.
What's the point?
The ship will be
joining the mothball
fleet next week.
I pretty much built
this engine.
I plan to take care of
it as long as I can.
( sighs )
It's been a hell of a run,
Malcolm.
I never thought
it would come to an end.
( sighs )
All good things.
Captain thinks there'll be
another Enterprise
before too long.
I imagine.
Won't be the same.
That's okay.
Come on.
It's sad.
Commander Tucker
had no idea
he wouldn't
make it back.
How reliable
are your sources?
They're criminals,
but honorable ones.
They promised me
that Talla's being held
here on Level Four.
Have you fashioned
the amethyst?
The photograph you gave us
had poor resolution,
but I'm confident
our replication
will look authentic.
The Tenebian amethyst
they think I stole was flawless.
They'll undoubtedly have
magnifying equipment with them.
They'll need
a spectral micrometer
to see it's
a fabrication.
How many do you expect
to show up?
Computer,
freeze program.
He's cute.
Don't get any ideas.
Reg'll be furious
if I'm late.
Are you going to stay?
Yeah, for
a little while.
Good luck.
Computer, Arch.
Computer, how long before
they reach Rigel Ten?
16 hours, 22 minutes.
Advance to that point,
stay in objective mode.
Move into a stationary orbit.
Aye, sir.
Put a team together.
Meet us in the launch bay.
TUCKER:
Captain, can I have
a word with you?
We can handle this
without you.
Well, that's flattering.
You know what I mean.
You've got the biggest day
of your life coming up.
A lot of people are
counting on you being there.
I appreciate you
worrying about me,
but I'll be fine.
You don't need to be
putting yourself in harm's way.
I'm telling you,
we can take care of it.
Rigel was the first place
we visited, remember?
Now, it's going
to be the last.
Poetic justice.
Why should you have
all the fun?
We're going through
the troposphere,
might get a little bumpy.
T'POL:
Have you been
down to see
Chef yet?
First thing
this morning.
You?
He talked about you.
Me?
Us.
TUCKER:
What about us?
It's not important.
Why'd you bring
it up, then?
Do you ever miss me?
You mean...?
Yes.
You know how long
it's been?
That's not
what I asked you.
Well, uh...
yeah, I guess...
sometimes.
I haven't thought about
those days in a long time.
Benefit of being a Vulcan.
After speaking with Chef,
I realized we may never
see each other again.
What're you talking about?
We're taking different
assignments...
there's no way of knowing...
There's every way of knowing.
I can guarantee you
we're not going to lose touch.
Stop thinking like that.
Howelong it may be...
I believe I'm going to miss you.
ARCHER:
Archer to Shuttlepod Two.
Go ahead, sir.
Shran's made contact.
Everything's set.
I'll lead you in.
Understood.
Stop there.
Unless I'm mistaken,
I thought you had no idea
where the amethyst was.
Where's my daughter?
Funny how a missing child
has a way to jog
the memory, eh, Shran?
Where is she?
I thought you were
happily married.
Who's the Vulcan?
I'm not interested
in your associates,
so don't question mine.
Put the case down
and open it.
We want the child first.
I could shoot you both.
You'll never get
this case open,
I promise you.
You let a female negotiate
for you, eh, Shran?
You heard her.
Are you all right?
I'm hungry.
Now open the case.
( latches popping )
Set it down.
Now, back up.
Let her take the girl.
Fine.
But you stay.
One step, and this little blue
beauty won't have a
father to come home to.
I want you to go with T'Pol.
You'll be safe with her.
She'll find you
something to eat.
Obey your father.
Now, step back.
What are you doing?
( screaming )
( grunting )
( shots firing )
Stand still
and you won't be harmed.
( shots firing )
( shots firing )
( yells )
( shots firing )
( shot fires )
Hang on!
( shots firing )
( groans )
( shot fires )
( grunting )
Thanks, boss.
Any time.
You're certain
it won't be a problem?
I'll feel more comfortable
getting you away
from your "friends"
at warp four.
My shuttle
may be slow,
but their ships can
barely make warp two.
All the same,
you'll be
under your own power
by tomorrow night.
We'll contact
your wife and tell her
to expect you
the next morning.
I told you my plan would
only take a few hours.
You're welcome.
( chuckles )
You should let Phlox
take a look at her
before you go
to your quarters.
Whatever you say,
Captain.
Thanks, pinkskin.
You must be getting
tired of saving my life.
I'm glad I didn't take
your advice
about not coming along.
Yeah, you and me both.
Then again, you almost got
yourself killed down there.
That wouldn't
have gone over
too big at the ceremony.
Signing documents are easy.
Training a new engineer...
that can be a real
pain in the ass.
( com beeps )
Data to Counselor Troi.
Yes, Data.
I was wondering if this
might be an appropriate time
to continue our discussion
on the long-term effects
of space travel
on my positronic net.
Can I give you a rain check?
You may check me for rain
if you like, Counselor,
but I assure you there
is no water in my composition.
( door chimes )
Data, I'll get back to you.
Come in.
I know it's past office hours.
What is it?
It won't be long before
they find the Pegasus.
You haven't made
your decision.
The holodeck?
They rescued
the Andorian's daughter.
So you're coming to the moment
of truth in there, as well.
I need you to promise
you'll keep this confidential.
You know I will.
What do you know
about the Treaty of Algeron?
2311. It redefined
the Romulan Neutral Zone.
It also outlawed the use
of cloaking technology
on Starfleet vessels.
The Pegasus?
A secret group at Starfleet
Security developed a prototype.
Pressman was put
in charge of testing it.
That's why they're so eager to
find it before the Romulans do.
The accident--
the 71 people who died--
we were testing
the cloaking device.
It was covered up.
The nine of us who made it back
alive were sworn to secrecy.
And you've lived with
that for 12 years?
They want to pick
the experiment up
where they left off.
Are you sure?
Pressman told me himself.
What they're
doing is wrong.
It could
jeopardize the treaty.
And you want to tell
that to Captain Picard.
I took an oath of secrecy.
Pressman still
outranks the Captain.
Well...
You didn't get this
far in your career
making easy decisions.
I'm confident you'll
make the right one now.
I wish I was.
REED:
He was anything
but tactful.
What his countrymen
might refer to as a hick.
For the life of me,
I couldn't understand
what Captain
Archer saw in him.
Thinner. Roll it a little
bit thinner, like this.
Oh, right. Right.
Go on.
That's about
it, really.
I used to think that first
impressions meant something.
I guess it's not
always true.
To be honest, I didn't think
he was gonna last a month,
old friend
of the Captain's or not.
And now, I can't imagine
what these last ten years
would've been like without him.
Did you ever find yourself
attracted to him?
Maybe a little.
I never really thought
he was my type.
He didn't even
graduate college.
He learned about
engineering
working on boat
engines, I think.
Never cared much
about languages.
Could barely
speak English.
But he did have his moments.
I still find him kind of cute.
Keep that
to yourself.
The Captain said they'd known
each other a long time.
Close to 20 years.
He taught the Captain
how to scuba dive
somewhere off the
coast of Florida.
Oh, you're pressing
too hard.
Just slow,
steady movement.
Oh, sorry.
No need to apologize.
They've got a shorthand
they use sometimes.
Comes from spending
so much time together.
Did Trip ever take
a swing at Picard?
At who?
Archer? Captain Archer?
Not that I know of.
When push comes to shove,
Commander Tucker usually ends
up doing the right thing.
Hmm.
How am I doing?
Well, don't let it get too big.
Now fold it over.
There you go.
( grunts, chuckles )
And he's always
pushing himself,
often to the point
of exhaustion.
He's forced me to order him to
relax on more than one occasion.
To relax?
Yeah. He wasn't very keen
on getting neuro-pressure
treatments from T'Pol,
but it was that or become
addicted to sedatives.
If I remember correctly,
that's when...
Their romance began?
Hmm. Precisely.
One time, he became
so exhausted
I had to demand he
get six hours sleep.
He negotiated it
down to four.
A very stubborn
young man.
Ah. Ha. Heh.
I quite enjoy this.
So did he follow your orders?
Didn't have a choice.
You've always got a choice.
So you think this
alliance is gonna hold?
We'd better hope so.
There are thousands
of planets within reach.
Gotta start somewhere.
Who woulda guessed?
Vulcans and Andorians
in the same bed.
The Tellarites were never big
fans of the Andorians, either.
This is a special
bottle of whiskey.
Zefram Cochrane
gave it to my father
the day they broke ground
at the warp five complex.
And here we are...
toasting the warp seven.
Here's to the
next generation.
Written your speech yet?
I always crammed
before exams.
I've got three days left.
The biggest day of your life,
and you're gonna wait
until the night before.
It's the biggest day
of our lives.
Oh, I hate to
contradict you, Captain, but...
you're the man
they're waiting to see.
Archer to the Bridge.
What's going on?
T'POL:
We're under attack.
Who are they?
We don't know yet, sir.
Intruder alert.
( alarm blaring )
We've come
for Shran and the child.
I thought you said their ship
couldn't catch up to us.
Remind me to mention
that to Shran.
You're leaving me
very little choice.
Shran left six hours ago.
You're too late.
You're lying.
His shuttle is
still in your launch bay.
Kill him.
Hold on.
Wait a minute.
Trip, I'll take
care of this.
The hell you will.
I'll bring you to Shran.
I know where he is.
I gave you an order,
Commander.
You heard me.
I said I'd bring
you to Shran.
Trip!
Very well.
Turn around,
both of you.
Hey, this guy's
the Captain.
That's enough.
disobey his order,
I don't want him coming along.
Trip,
that's enough!
Listen. I
won't do this
if you kill him, but could
you please shut him up?
( grunts )
Stop. You can't expect me
to just leave him here alive?
He's out cold.
He's not gonna cause
any trouble.
Stay here.
If we're not back
in ten minutes, kill him.
Didn't you hear
what I just said?
I won't help you
if you kill him.
This might take
longer than ten minutes.
Take me to Shran
or I'll kill him right now.
Okay, okay!
I've got a better idea.
I'll bring Shran to us.
We don't have to go anywhere.
Be very careful.
You can all come
see for yourselves.
This is just a com station.
I'm gonna need to open this
so I can bypass
the security protocols.
Is that okay?
As long as you keep your hands
where we can see them.
No problem.
Now, all I need to do
is connect this
to the relay inside that panel.
Stop.
Open it for him.
If there's
a weapon in there,
you're going to die
before your Captain.
Satisfied?
Proceed.
Hurry up.
You're running
out of time.
There's just one other thing
I need to tell you.
You can all go straight to hell.
( moaning and groaning )
Trip?
MED-TECH:
He's not responding.
Add two percent
syntho-surfactant.
Doctor?
The plasma was super-heated.
It thermalized his lungs.
Initialize the
hyperbaric sequencer.
( wheezing gasps )
S-Sorry...
about the... rifle-butt.
( gasps )
I was just trying to...
I know, Trip.
Just take it easy.
Everything's all right.
We gonna be late?
No. We'll be
right on schedule.
I'll even have time
to write my speech.
Great news.
Wait till they...
( gasping )
( alarm blares )
We need to get him
into the chamber now!
Clear!
Need any help?
No, thank you.
For his parents?
Will they still be coming
to the ceremony?
I told them
I thought Trip
wouldn't want it
any other way.
( sighs )
( chuckles )
Don't forget this.
I'd like to meet them.
His parents?
Yes. I'd like
to meet them.
They're
a little eccentric.
I think you'll see
where Trip got
his sense of humor.
My mother
was somewhat
eccentric, as well.
I remember.
Trip told me,
as the years went by,
that I would miss her less.
But he was wrong.
Because I find myself
missing her more.
Why would he tell me that?
( sighs )
Time heals all wounds,
but... absence makes
the heart grow fonder.
I guess it's a little tricky.
Emotions have a way
of contradicting
themselves.
And you wonder
why we suppress them.
When I took command
ten years ago,
I saw myself
as an explorer.
I thought all the risks
would be worth it
because, just beyond
the next planet,
just beyond
the next star,
there would be
something magnificent,
something noble.
And now Trip is dead,
and I have
to give a speech
about how worthwhile
it's all been.
Trip would be the first
to say it was worthwhile.
Fried catfish
with hush puppies.
Obviously, the
Captain mentioned
why I wanted
to see you.
Keep in mind,
within a week
I'll be eating
the real thing.
I'm taking my folks
down to Mobile.
Nothing like a challenge.
Captain asked for meat loaf,
didn't he?
I haven't spoken to him yet.
How about T'Pol?
She won't be very cooperative.
You wait and see.
I've already started
her plomeek broth.
All she has to do is choose
a few final ingredients.
She'll be down here
in about an hour.
I hear we're on our way
to pick up Shran?
Can you believe it?
We all thought
he was dead and gone.
Well, don't you think
the Captain's cutting
it a little close?
You mean getting back
to San Francisco?
Yeah.
Ah, he won't let anything
get in the way of that.
Trust me.
Can you spare one
of those carrots?
They're not peeled yet.
That's okay.
You know,
he'd never admit it,
but this thing means
a hell of a lot to him.
He's real proud to be one of
the people signing this charter.
And he ought to be.
You sound like a lifetime member
of the Jonathan Archer fan club.
I can count on one hand
the number of people I trust.
I don't mean trust like
"I trust you aren't lying to me"
or "I trust you won't
steal my money."
I'm talking about
the kind of trust
where you know someone's
not going to hurt you,
no matter what.
Where you know they'll always
be there for you,
no matter how bad things get.
Ever know anybody like that?
Yeah.
One or two.
Well, I got some packing to
do before I go back on duty.
You figured out what
you're going to do?
Do?
You gonna sign on
to another ship,
or you gonna open up
that little restaurant
in the Berkshires
you told me about?
You know, I haven't decided yet.
You got any advice?
Nope.
But I'm sure you'll
make the right choice.
Are you certain these
are the right seats?
Yep.
They don't seem
very VIP to me.
I'm sure the Admiral
wanted us to have a view
that took in the scope
of the occasion.
From this distance,
you can't tell
an Andorian
from a Tellarite.
Have you given an answer
to Captain Stillwell yet?
I've asked him
for a little more time--
until Captain Archer
decides
what he's going
to be doing.
I'll bet you
a month's pay
he'll be on the
bridge of a new ship.
He won't be
able to resist
one of those
warp-7 beauties.
I've heard he's already
been tapped for admiral.
Malcolm's right.
They'll never keep
him behind a desk.
It's very wise of you
to stick with him.
That's exactly
what I plan to do.
Please stand still.
If you hadn't waited
until the last minute,
you would have had time
to memorize your speech.
You sound like
my ninth grade teacher.
There are
dignitaries here
from 18 different worlds.
( chuckles )
It's a good sign.
I wouldn't be surprised
if this alliance
begins to expand
before we know it.
You should be very proud
of yourself, Captain.
I'll be proud of myself
if I get this speech out
in one piece.
That's not what I meant.
I know what
you meant, Phlox.
And I appreciate it,
but this is not about me.
Why do so many humans
refuse to take credit
where credit is due?
There are times
when modesty and humility
are quite illogical.
Whenever you're ready, sir.
Well, I've got
three wives waiting.
I'd better go
and join them.
I'd wish you
good luck, Captain,
but you've always
had an ample supply.
Thank you, Doctor.
You'd better
get out there.
You don't want to miss me
screwing this thing up.
I'm going to remain down
here, if you don't mind.
You never did
like crowds, did you?
You look...
very heroic.
Is he nervous?
Wouldn't you be?
Oh, he'll be fine.
I had to memorize this
speech in grammar school.
You wish you
could tell them all
that this alliance will give
birth to the Federation.
I think I'm ready
to talk to Captain Picard.
I should have done it
a long time ago.
So I guess
we're through here.
I guess we are.
( applause )
Computer...
end program.
PICARD:
Space... the final frontier.
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.
Its continuing mission...
KIRK:
...to explore
strange new worlds...
to seek out new life
and new civilizations...
ARCHER:
...to boldly go where
no man has gone before.
